Thomas H. Barclay Brigade

The Thomas H. Barclay Brigade was a troupe of Loyalists loyal to the crown of Great Britain during the American Revolutionary War. Led by Thomas Henry Barclay, whom they are named for, the brigade of 4,800 militia fought with distinction from 1775 to 1776, when many of them deserted after the Battle of Greenville. After the war, many of them headed to British Canada to avoid persecution.
